TeaboxDataFormat

Library for reading and writing tab separated text data.

About

I found myself writing the same code for read and saving text data to files over and over again for various small projects, so I started this project have a package I could reuse instead.

My requirements for this project was

  • Easy to read and modify in text or spreadsheet editor. There should be no need for dedicate reader/editor for this format.
  • Allow for comments and white space.
  • Liberal in how data is ordered and forgiving of missing data.

As it has been implemented in a few various personal project.

Note that this library is still a work in process and things might change.

File Structure & usage example

Below is an example of how a file can look.

// Double slashes starts a comment that will be ignored 
!Brick	Color	Amount // Line that starts with ! names the columns (not required)
3001	Red	18 // Data is separated by tabs
3004	Blue	22 // Comment must have space or tab infront of it if line also includes data. Otherwise it will be considered part of data.

It can be read in the following way.

var data_file = TeaboxDataFile.Open<ProjectSpecificItemClass>("X:\\Sample.txt");

foreach(TeaboxDataRow row in data_table)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Part: " + row.Brick);
    Console.WriteLine("Color: " + row.Color);
    Console.WriteLine("Amount: " + row.Amount);
}

The class ProjectSpecificItemClass would look like this in code.

public class ProjectSpecificItemClass : TeaboxDataLine
{
    public string Brick { get; set; }
    public string Color { get; set; }
    public int Amount { get; set; }
}

Classes in this library are meant to be extended in project specific child classes. Which is the reason some functionality is hidden away in protected methods.
